What are these bags called and where will I find one

I was out this afternoon and saw about 3 people with lovely handbags, what are they called and where do I find them?!

They are reasonably large, come in a range of colours (a lovely royal blue being one!) are quite thin but sturdy, have no edge/zip/fastening of any type so pretty open, some almost have a tie across the top that you could tie of you wanted.

Any ideas?!

www.newlook.com/uk/womens/accessories/bags/blue-structured-tote-bag/p/540527047?comp=PDP-Color-Swatch Comes in 4 colours including nude.

www.fossil.com/uk/en/women/handbags/totes.html Lots of colours but no nude.

The way you describe the tie fastening makes it sound like some of the reversible totes that have been around (John Lewis, Zara etc.) - the best range of colours for very little money seem to be on ebay or Amazon www.amazon.co.uk/Miss-Lulu-Reversible-Leather-Shoulder/dp/B01N97SUK9/ref=sr_1_2?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1502318722&sr=1-2&nodeID=355005011&psd=1&keywords=reversible%2Btote%2Bbag%2Blulu&th=1&tag=mumsnetforum-21

I'm sure I have seen similar in Accessorize.

PerspicaciaTick · 10/08/2017 10:58

Grin Hurrah - I hope you find your perfect colour Grin

plum1304 · 10/08/2017 11:37

Let us know which one you get... I've been looking at these too and was following your search!

SnowiestMountain · 10/08/2017 11:54

I'd probably better wait until I get paid next week as the kids still need their school uniforms and holiday clothes, but one of these lovely bags is definitely in my near future!! I'll let you know which one I get, perhaps black with a red inside!

Can we have a link to the amazon ones please

doctorboo · 10/08/2017 13:22

Thank you for posting OP! I can see one of the Amazon bags in my future. What colour are you going to get @SnowiestMountain ?

MinesaPinot · 10/08/2017 13:23

Now look what you've all done. I clicked on the Amazon link and I have nearly, but not quite, ordered the black and red.

Do I need it? No.

But do I like it and will it make me happy? A resounding Yes!

I'll give it five minutes and have another look.......

SnowiestMountain · 10/08/2017 13:23

I think I'd like black with a red inside, or I might go royal blue! Grin

A word of caution, the amazon ones don't have very good reviews, but it was perfect for finding what we're looking for! They have some lovely ones in Zara! Once you google 'reversible tote bags' the worlds your oyster!!

WHAT? All along it was mansur Gavriel? I have their bucket bag. It came to mind but it's a rare bag so I didn't think three women would be seen in it at the same time. I feel like I should have been the one to suggest this.

KimchiLaLa · 10/08/2017 14:26

Amazon one is a nice bag. Wonder if it could be a baby changing bag Grin

SnowiestMountain · 10/08/2017 16:22

I think they are definitely Gavriel imitation bags rather than the real thing!

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 10/08/2017 18:25

Ooh I want one now! But what colour? Hmmm

Tantpoke · 10/08/2017 20:24

Oops for some some reason my iPad skipped your middle posts, it would seem yes it is this one.

SnowiestMountain · 10/08/2017 20:55

Ooh I do hope so! I would love to have started something!

I've decided I'm going to get a black with red inside from Zara when we get back from holiday as a treat to myself for getting through the school holidays to be fair the kids have actually been really good!

OP posts:
SnowiestMountain · 10/08/2017 20:56

PS don't you dare buy them all and make them sold out! If you do I will require one of you to send yours to me as a sort of recommendation fee Grin
